I don't belittle homemaking, but I do belittle the idea of men choosing to be homemakers while their wives go out into the workforce (working for and with other men). It's the reversal of roles I take issue with, not the roles themselves. I believe we should all have a full life, but that involves committing to fulfilling our state in life the best we can -- not just doing anything we feel like. Children deserve to be raised by their parents, no matter how "shackled" the parents may feel by that at any given moment. When husband and wife don't fulfill their roles, chaos and contention are ready to pounce. Spouses' equally important roles may have some overlap, but they are not interchangeable. Children need dads who are dads and moms who are moms, according to God's design.

I think you need to reread the Bible a bit more carefully if you truly believe that what you’ve been saying about gender roles is God’s design. Your argumentation is sloppy and you keep strawmanning me. For just one example, I never suggested anyone just “do anything they feel like.” And you did in fact belittle homemaking if it was a man doing it — not simply the man doing it. Do better
